Podcast: Cassaundra Rangip – Founder of Pacific Fashion Festival

Season 1, Episode 3

“When we accept violence to a certain extent, that’s when it can be accepted to the worst extent,” quote by Cassaundra Rangip [Cass].

In this podcast episode, Cass shares how and why she started Brisbane-based ‘Pacific Fashion Festival’ [PFF] in 2014 without any funding or financial contribution. She also relays the reason why she chose fashion as the platform to create awareness about gender-based and sorcery-based domestic violence.

Cass lets us in on her vision for PFF in the next 5-10 years; such as expanding its reach and remaining self-sustainable at a grassroots level. Her non-profit organisation is created for the people by the people. To explore more about Pacific Fashion Festival, click here.

A new podcast will be released weekly on a Wednesday via SoundCloud. Come and join me in celebrating our fellow Pacific Islanders as we discover their journey together and how they rose above and Beyond the Pacific.

"What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities - NZ is their home - they are us," Prime Minister of NZ, Jacinda Ardern 🖤 >> 15.03.2019 <<
